On Tuesday March 24th 2009, newmatilda.com, a website with "Independent news, analysis and satire covering politics, consumerism, international affairs, and culture.", presented "The Tangled Web", a forum about Internet censorship.

(BTW, there's no pornography on display - the most "pornographic" it gets is girls wearing only a bra on their top while still in a skirt, and a guy naked with his hands covering his penis. And the obscenity isn't gratuitous, you have to pay to see it).

This looks like fun, so I'm going to play. If you're interested, I'll see you while we're looking for the final prize! Except, you won't see me, because obviously I'll be there hours before you, because A Winner Is Me!

I've just done a quick Google search and there are at least two companies in Brisbane that do kitesurfing: brisbanekiteboarding.com and Surf Connect. If you know of any other ways to kitesurf in Brisbane, let us know in the comments.

Knowmore (House of Commons) is a spinning tabletop with video images projected onto it. When you move around the edge of the artwork, you change the video images.

The talk is in the InfoZone on Level 1 (the ground floor) of the State Library, and it's free. You can also see the artwork there. When you enter from the southern end of the library complex, the toilets are on your right and just after them is the InfoZone

Kei apples are native to Africa, where it is called Umkokola, Amaqokolo and other.

I would call it plum, not apple, as it has size and flesh as a plum, with a few small white seeds inside.It is very rich with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), so the fruit is too acid eating out of hand, but I made a beautiful "Kei apples" jam!

Brisbane Blog

Welcome to the Brisbane Blog. If you're on holiday in Brisbane, or if you live here and you've got some free time on your hands, you might be wondering about what things there are to do.

The Brisbane Blog lets you know about free, cheap, fun or exciting things going on in Brisbane: meetups, roller derby, burlesque, music, cult movies, local artists, anti-censorship protests, plays, and film festivals, just for a start. I especially like to promote Creative Commons in Brisbane.
